A/N: A reviewer for TYIL told me that s/he was (and I quote)'really starting to get agiated with idiots like you who can't even update somthing fast'. In all I can't blame her (I say her because most Gravi readers are girls) I mean I wrote the ending two weeks ago and haven't posted ityet(you can complain too, I know you want to).
Also I know what it's like tor ead a story and wait for weeks and sometimes months for an update. My favorite writers, Peacewish, Kadzuki Fuchoin, HawkClowd and Tangerine-Asuka, have made me wait long time for updates. So I actually feel honored that someone likes my fic so much that she has to curse in order to let out her frustation.
Now, before I let you go read the fic I apologize for the loooong wait. I know there's no excuse, but university is harder than I thought and I have six proyects due next week. So consider yourselves lucky I'm updating two fics today.
Disclaimer: I own the plot and Kaiya. And that's enough for me.

Chapter five: My song for you.
Two weeks had happened from the incident in Tohma's office. Shuichi had officially apologized to Seguchi who, seeing the normal shy and nervous behavior on the boy, dismissed the argument without giving it much importance.
Also, Shuichi had given Hiro and Suguru his lyrics so they could make the arrangements for Kaiya and they were getting ready for the upcoming concert. Hiro wasn't very comfortable with this, but had managed to kept calm and work properly under the constant threatening of K.
So everything seemed to be normal in Shuichi's life. The key word of this was of course 'seemed'. The reality was that Tohma kept 'visiting' Bad Luck and Kaiya, to 'check' how things were doing, making Shuichi extremely uncomfortable, probably on purpose.
And at Yuki's apartment the atmosphere was so tense anyone that went there had goose bumps the second they placed a foot on the floor. Shuichi had been sleeping in his room and eating outside, obviously avoiding Yuki. And that pissed the writer off.
During the past two weeks Yuki had ignored, wondered, observed, asked in a bored tone, kicked him out of the apartment, let him in again, and finally gave up trying to find out what was wrong and returned to his work. Not only the brat was acting like he had a contagious disease, but he was also being deprived from sex. And although he would never tell that to anyone, the writer had realized that he had gotten used to have Shuichi cuddling against him before falling asleep and he missed that above all things.
Three days before the concert.
"Well, Keitaro-san, all the arrangements are done, and the song for the concert is ready."
"Thank you Fujisaki-kun. Shu-kun wanted to practice this song one more time, so I guess having the arrangements done will be helpful."
"Mm? Eiri-san, I wasn't expecting you so early."
"Hn."
"I have to go check on my favorite band, care to join me?"
"Hn."
"I'm sure Shindou-kun will be happy to see you too."
"Whatever."
Shuichi and Kaiya were ready to sing the new song for the concert. Much to Hiro's disbelief, when Kaiya had asked if they could sang the old song Shu had written, the pink haired singer had accepted.
Donna fuu ni boku ga suki de
Naze suki ni natta no atta nante
ANATA no mimi moto Kotae shiiiru
WAGAMAMA wo yurushite
Shuichi begun singing, and Kaiya followed. Everyone but Hiro gasped in surprise. They sing perfectly well, proving that the guitarist had been telling the truth: if they had been together since the beginning they would've gotten a contract really fast and easy.
Yuki and Tohma arrived after the singers had started. It was obvious that they were a success, because practically everyone at NG was there, listening to the amazing combination they made. Tohma smiled as usual, but Yuki frowned. He didn't miss the fact that his lover was smiling brightly as he sang. And instead of thinking it was probably due to the fact the he was doing one of his favorite things in the world, jealousy began to install itself on his heart.
As the song continued, Yuki, trying to think about something else, observed that Nakano was looking at his best friend frowning too. Apparently Yuki wasn't the only one upset by the pair of singers after all.
Tozasareta sou mune ni
(Just like "first Love")
Tokimeki omoi dasasete ageru
Baby, let's get together
Baby, let's get together
...Welcome to my romance!
The song ended and almost everyone applauded them. This would be probably their best song during the concert. As all the NG personnel left, Tohma congratulated the singers. Kaiya smiled brightly and Shuichi blushed slightly. And then he saw Yuki.
Shuichi's eyes widened in surprise as Yuki turned around and left the studio. He didn't listed to Tohma's indications or to the others comments on the performance. All he could think was follow Yuki, hug him, do... something.
"Shindou-kun, I'm glad to see everything is ok-. Tohma looked at the singer and internally smirked- Eiri and I were just about to have lunch, so I better leave. I expect that song to be perfected by tomorrow."
Bastard. Shuichi wanted to say something, but even he knew better. So he nodded and tried to smile.
"Shu-kun?"
"Uh?"
"I was wondering... would you like to have lunch or dinner with me?"
"Uh? I- well..."
"There's no use Keitaro. Shuichi is already dating someone."
Hiro stood next to Shuichi, expecting his friend to react and confirm this last statement. But Shuichi kept quiet and Kaiya smiled challenging at the guitarist.
"Really?"
"Yeah, don't you know he's with Yuki Eiri? You must be the only person in Japan who doesn't."
Hiroshi had expected Kaiya to be surprised or upset or... anything, but she kept that smile on her face and then looking at Shuichi she took his hand.
"Oh, come on! I know it was excellent publicity, really opportune by the way, but you can't fool me with that. I dated Shu-kun, remember?"
"That was in the past. Shuichi is with Yuki now."
"Really? It doesn't seem so, he didn't even smiled at him. So if they were an item it must be over or they never were. Either way I have a chance, don't I Shu-kun?"
Both singer and guitarist watched at the other boy, who merely stood there, looking at the floor. Hiro frowned and Kaiya smiled again, triumphantly this time.
"Maybe we'll have dinner on another occasion then. See ya later, Shu-kun."
Kaiya leaned forward and kissed Shuichi on the cheek. Sakano, Suguru, and K, who had been watching the whole scene almost jumped in fear at the look Hiro gave her. But after waving the rest goodbye, she left the room.
There was a tense silence, before Hiro turned around to see his best friend, who was staring at his shoes intensely.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Hiro's voice came out loud and full of anger, but Shuichi didn't move. K walked towards the guitarist and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Now there's no reason to yell, is there?"
Hiro glared at him, but understood that his American manager was right. He wouldn't accomplish anything by yelling at Shuichi. He breathed deeply a few times and then turned around to see Shu again. Somehow that girl managed to get out the worst part of his personality, but that didn't meant he had to take it on Shu, he didn't want to end up saying something he would regret later.
"Why didn't you tell her?"
Shuichi finally looked up, and the confusion in his eyes became visible to Hiro.
"Yeah Shuichi, why did you kept quiet? I mean whenever someone doubts about your relationship with Eiri-san you make a scandal."
"Fujisaki-kun is right, Shindou-kun is something wrong?"
Suguru and Sakano were looking at him now too. And then K pointed a gun at him.
"Tell us what's wrong. Did you two fight again?"
The singer's eyes traveled from K, to Suguru, to Sakano, and finally to Hiro. He looked down again and shook his head. Never before he had missed his normal routine so much: Waking up late, having K shoot at him, Hiro inviting him lunch, Suguru complaining and Sakano freaking out...
And then returning home to find Yuki writing on his desk, sat next to him and tell him about his day and receiving as a reward (or more as a 'please shut up' offer) a kiss... and finally falling asleep on the couch and get carried by Yuki to bed...
Shuichi walked towards the couch and sat. He needed answers, but knew that no one but himself could give them to him. Still his band mates may be able to help him. Smiling sadly at them he answered:
"I don't know."
